Dear colleagues! Please help me to understand something!

Dear colleagues! Please help me to understand something!
 
In the book from Wall Street Institute there is such a sentence: 
IF YOU WON īT HELP ME, I īLL HAVE TO GO TO TRINIDAD. 

I don īt understand why they used "won īt" after "if" as the rule says that we don īt use Future tense after "if".  I would say like this: if you don īt help me, i īll have to go to Trinidad. 

Can it be a mistake? Or there is a special situation when we can use it? 

I would appreciate it if you help me to understand! Thanks in advance!
